Will Kovacic and Barkley work hard when they have it?

I would consider Willy there as well personally but as we all know Sarri doesn't do, thinking outside the box!

He wouldn't do anything there Brum. It's similar to the idea people have that Kovacic can play Regista, the demands of the player in the role off the ball outweigh what they'd bring to the role on the ball. He'd be just as useless as Barkley in that position.

RLC is our best bet

It's RLC I want to get the nod Devil. Just that I'd rather see Willy there rather than Kov or Barkley who I think don't bring anything to the party there!

It's a very hard role for anyone we have in this squad tbh. Even RLC isn't that great for it on paper, he just adds a slightly different dynamic to it.

It really should've been Barkley. He's always been overrated rubbish (IMO) but I'm surprised he hasn't made some kind of impression there. Very disappointing.

RLC & CHO starting today v Man City would be great to see if it did happen today.

I would definitely start Loftus-Cheek if he's fit. No doubt. There's no good reason why he shouldn't. Both Kovacic and Barkley haven't been convincing enough in the crunch games against top opposition.

I really don't like seeing Jorginho and Kovacic starting together either. Has to be one or the other for me.

CHO

FACK

Kante is just incredible
